About Teach and Tell
WHAT IS TEACH AND TELL?
The Aim of Teach and Tell Ministries is to equip believers to reach non-believers with the wonderful Gospel message of Salvation through Christ alone. We provide both “on the job” training and classroom instruction. To accomplish this work, Teach and Tell Ministries has two simple objectives:
- Effectively share the Gospel of Christ with lost souls wherever they may be found, presenting them with an invitation to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
- Train local churches, Christian schools, Bible College students, missionary trainees, youth groups and individuals to effectively evangelise their world for Jesus Christ.
WHAT TEACH AND TELL DOES
Teach and Tell strives to share the Gospel of Christ wherever people may be found. Whether indoors or out we want to seek lost souls with the Good News of salvation through Christ.
To gain a meaningful hearing for the Gospel, we will do whatever it takes. Sketch board messages, object lessons, mime, drama, music and even Gospel-oriented “magic” tricks have been used with great effect to draw listeners and share Christ with them.
Those who work with us are both learning and doing. They are teaching and telling. They are faithfully obeying the Lord’s command to go into all the world and preach (tell) the Gospel.
RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to…
- Evangelise through the preaching of the Gospel in meetings, classes, open-air, and such like and to disciple and follow-up converts either personally or through correspondence courses and to refer them to a Bible believing and Bible preaching local church in their area when at all possible.
- Train and disciple others to do the same through encouragement, teaching, example, and “on the job” training and to expand this ministry, as the Lord leads – “Till the whole world knows”.
- Involve the local church in…
- Evangelism
- Support – prayer, practical and personnel.
- Follow-up of converts – which may mean the prior training of people to do follow-up.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
- The Bible to be the inspired and only infallible Word of God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
- That there is only one true and living God eternally existent in three persons. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
- That the Lord Jesus is true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin. We believe in His life, substitutionary sacrifice for sins, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
- That salvation is entirely of God’s grace through repentance and a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
- That those who acknowledge Christ as Saviour and Lord belong to the church universal, His body. Christ is the only head and each of us are members, united by the Holy Spirit.
- That each person, upon believing in Christ is regenerated, baptized, indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit, who also gives gifts to the Church and enables each believer to produce the fruit of the Spirit.
- We accept that among Christians who agree with this statement of belief there will be differences of opinions on other issues. We value this diversity within the body of Christ but emphasise the unity, love and harmony that comes from a common faith in Jesus Christ.
